Falling for the Ranger (Men of Marietta Book 4)

When Molly Cordero gets lost in the woods though and Todd is the one who saves her, the spark he’s been trying to ignore smolders and ignites.

When Todd Harris makes the move from the mean streets of Chicago to the sleepy roads of Marietta, Montana, it’s not just his career that’s changing… it’s his entire life. Going from police officer to forest ranger isn’t too much of a stretch, but getting used to how things work in a small town is. As he settles in, Todd realizes he loves the slower pace of the countryside, but then… an Olympic gold medalist comes to town and shatters his hard fought peace.

When Todd Harris makes the move from the mean streets of Chicago to the sleepy roads of Marietta, Montana, it’s not just his career that’s changing… it’s his entire life. Going from police officer to forest ranger isn’t too much of a stretch, but getting used to how things work in a small town is. As he settles in, Todd realizes he loves the slower pace of the countryside, but then… an Olympic gold medalist comes to town and shatters his hard fought peace.

But the town’s new forest ranger doesn’t like attention and he sure as hell isn’t looking for any kind of relationship with someone who does. When Molly Cordero gets lost in the woods though and Todd is the one who saves her, the spark he’s been trying to ignore smolders and ignites. It’s then that he realizes there’s a lot more to Molly than ambition and public adulation.

When Todd signs up for the Men of Marietta calendar shoot to raise money for Harry’s House, a place for children to commemorate a fallen firefighter, Molly realizes the kind of man he is. With the shoot wrapping up, she faces a painful decision–return to her old life, or give her new life with Todd a fighting chance.

Another Montana based masterpiece!
I loved learning about another Marietta couple. This one is about a down on her luck celebrity Olympic swimmer named Molly. Molly has some issues she runs from and finds herself in Marietta, Montana. It's here she meets ranger Todd. You'll love this book in the series continuation! Off to read book five!

Falling for the Ranger should be prescribed reading for anyone who needs to escape the 'real' world. Kaylie did a wonderful job of bringing her setting to life. Yes, who doesn't love the wilds of Montana, but if you can't get there, I highly recommend this book--and not just for how Marietta Montana affects the senses. Her characters are complex and slowly-revealed. With every page I learned more about them and the impact their pasts had on where they are emotionally when they meet. Early in the story, Molly gets lost in the wilderness. Of course Todd comes to her rescue, but Molly is no stereotypical helpless heroine. She knows what she needs to do and does it, keeping her sense of humor despite her rumbling stomach.
And then there's Bugs. All I'm going to tell you is that Bugs is the last dog you'd ever picture a hunky forest ranger owning. He's ugly as sin and an absolute delight. No wonder Molly felly in love with Bugs and his deeply masculine owner. .

The daughter of an English teacher and a freelance writer, I knew I wanted to be a novelist at the tender young age of twelve. Armed with a college ruled notebook and a ballpoint pen, I set out to write my first manuscript, but quit after seven pages to finish my math homework.

Several years and many short stories later, I decided to take another crack at it. My first book, A Death That Lingers released in November 2011 by Beachwalk Press. It was followed by Falling In Danger, Teaching Officer Lonesome and Taming Johnny, all contemporary romances featuring sexy cop heroes. I currently have a list of story ideas that nag me on a daily basis, most of which have a dash of suspense or paranormal to keep me on my toes.

I live at the base of the mountains in Southern Oregon with a very supportive (and handsome) husband, two adorable little girls, two slightly less adorable cats, and a mutt named Pedro. I spend my time reading, writing, cuddling my girls and dreaming of my next novel.
